You should try Liquifry no.1

I used the no.2 for liverbearers and it was brilliant

 

[markandhisfish]

Sorry to sound a noob

But would Kribs be ok in a community tank with say Zebra Danios ... Neons, Cherry Barbs etc?

 

[markandhisfish]

should be fine as long as the tank is big enough before i upgraded my kribs were in a 3 foot 29 gallon with neons pearl gouramis and glowlight tetras with no problems at all. they are not whagt you would call agressive but they will clame a territory within the tank and chase away anything that gets too close

they should not be kept with live bearers, or anything with long fins, these little buggers will kill a betta any day

well mine are in with 4 small angels ( til tomorrow at least lol) about as long a fins as you can get and no probs whatsoever. the only time they ever show any agression at all is when defending their "patch"

Aww congrats matey, boy are those parents gonna have fun keeping those Sev's from eating their babies

Time for a new grow out tank me thinks

 

[Davo86]

Congrats Mark.

Yeah as said try liquifry no.1 to start with and then move onto BBS and crushed flake if they are still around in a week or so's time,
may also be worth trying the cyclops but i daresay they will be too small atm to take it

eep! Cuteness, congrats! My kribs lived with some mexican mollies forever and mama krib would actually take molly fry into her brood as if they were her own. I think the cyclopeeze would be good for now, I noticed my mama krib chewing up and giving the fry bloodworms etc as they got older. Hatch some bbs if you can! That's what I've always fed mine from day 1. Love it, congrats again.
